As in his books, 'From Gorizia to the Andes' is a confluence of 'images, graphics, the crossing of poetic visions, the work of translation and typographic printing, as Gasparini likes to call it. Unlike his photobooks, in this new publishing project, the photographer has involved two poets, Alejandro Sebastiani Verlezza (Caracas, Venezuela) and Francesco Tomada (Udine, Italy), and has included an original fine art digital print in each copy of the print run.

The story is thus entrusted jointly to the photographer's images and to the texts of the two writers who each 'speak' in their own language, Italian for Tomada and Spanish for Verlezza. At times Gasparini also intervenes, using both languages to create a three-way dialogue.

The sequence of 32 black and white diptychs ends with a single image that is the original photograph applied to the book. The narrative flows towards the end, which is located in the middle of the book and is divided into two sections based on the two covers, which have different colours and languages: blue and Italian for the 'European part', magenta and Spanish for the 'Latin American part'.
